    Hi,

    second Ed White I see in the last days with whity, perfect looking hands

    4c488bfb-1def-4249-a423-aaaf011be819.jpg

    Are these service hands?

    Thank you very much :)

    Hard to say 100% from this angle, but the strange color of the H/M hands (combined with the almost matching tritium look of the chrono-S hand), and the lack of apparent curve in the M hand and chrono-S hand would suggest me to vote 'yes'. Also, I think @ndgal has a way of spotting the tips of the subregister hands...can't remember the details (some blunt, some sharper?). As usual, I speak under correction.

    Yeah, the H/M pristine whiteness and the discrepancy with lume color when comparing to the Chrono hand makes me want to vote "Service/Replacement". Not sure though:thumbsdown:

    H&M hands most likely re-lumed and had the white paint restored. (Not a huge deal, can always be replaced with originals).
    Chrono hand & sub dial hands look good.
